Marriage Between Yankee Girl and

NEW YORK, July Cyan Phon Lee of
Fragrant Hills, China, who was graduated
with high honors at Yale's last Commence
ment, was today united in matrimony to
Miss Elizabeth Maud Jerome, New Haven
heiress. The ceremony was quietly per-
formed at the residence of the brides
mother. No. "a Gilbert avenue. by Rev. DIR.
j. III. Twitchell Of the Asylum Hill Congrc-
gational Church, Hartford, in the presence
OF q few intimate friends of the family and
of the groom, among whom were several
Yale professors and Han Yung Wing, late
OF the Chinese embassy but now a resident
of Hartford. Yam Phou Lee first came to
In Sprlnfeld, after which he came to New
Haven and spent four years in the Hopkins
Grammar Scnool, entering Yale in the class
OF 'S4. AT the end of his freshman year in
callege, he was ordered back to China by the
government which had sent him and other
sons of prominent Chinese residents to
America for an education Before returning
to his native land, Miss Jerome had fallen
in love with him, and the couple were en-
gagged. The Chinaman became tired of
home and surroundings, and at the first OPP
portunlty he ran away and finally reached
New Haven and his sweetheart. He again en-
tered Yale, this time in the class of 1887, and
greatly distinguished himself throughout his
college course. This wedding is the first on
record in New Haven where Yankee girl
has married Chinaman, and the event has
excited considerable comment in social cir
cles. The only other case on record in Con-
necticut is that of Yung Wink, who married

A DARING CLIMBER.
Death OF a Man Whose Business
Was In Mounting steepIes.


One Of the noted characters Of Cincinnati.
the ''steeple climber" died Thursday night,
at his home, 70 Bank street. His name was
Joseph Rodriguez Weston, and for nearly 30
years he has been climbing steeples in this
city No point was too high and dizzy for
him to reach and maintain his steady foot
hold. OF late years he would undertake on
ly those difficult feats that appalled, others.
II was his pardonable boast that he could 60
as high or higher than any other man. There
are many stories Of his hazardous exploits In
this city. The most natabIe, probably, was
the draplng Of the cathedral spire on the
night following Archbishop PurcelPs death.
On the ground below were three or four
thousand people eagerly watching for
glance at the daring man as the lightning
flashes revealed him on the dizzy height
Weston, when only II years Of age, had
placed the tip on the same steeple. Another
feat that was greatly talked about at the
time was on the night Of July 8. 1876. Wes-
ton climbed the spire of the Presbyterian
church OH Fourth street. the tallest In the
city, and nailed fast the Stars and Stripes,
205 feet from the ground. 1t was on this Oc-
casion that he had narrow escape. Weston
had obtained from Niche, the jeweller,
heavy gold chain, the links of which were
all solid. His chain, when he was falling,
held him for brief moment, during which
the climber succeeded in regaining his hold.
Another time, while Weston was removing
the tlmbers from the steeple Of st. Xavier,
which had been burned, he was struck by a
falling rock on the head, and slightly hurt.
Weston had horror Of going beneath the
surface OF the earth, and would never de-
scend into cellar or cistern.
Weston's father was named Rodriguez, a
Spaniard, who died soon after his sons birth.
His widow afterward married man named
Weston, which name the boy adopted.
Young Weston's stepfather taught him to
climb at an early age, and as he advanced in
years his many difficult performances gave
him widespread reputation. He was Al
years of age when he died. His son, now
only ~ years old, bids fair to equal his father
in aerial exploits

BASE BALL.
New England League

GAME TODAY.
The Portlands win play the Lynns again
this afternoon at o'clock. COughlin will
pitch for the Lynns and he Is considered by
many to be better pitcher than Devlin.
The Portlands are playing good ball and
those who Ike good game should take
these games in and encourage the support Of
frst-class club
PoRTLANDs, II, {, hymns, 3.
The POrtlands played fine game yester-
day and defeated the Lynns by the above
score, with Devlin in the box. The Phila-
delphia pitcher was bit quite freely and the
Portlands were able TO earn four runs OF his
delivery. He has a very puzzling inshoot,
but the boys seemed able to tell where they
were coming after one or two strikes had
been called. Small was hit little oftener
than Deylin but the earned runs show that
the hits did not count so much II there were
more Of them. A good part of the visitors
batting was done with two men out. The
Portlands played sharp fielding game while
the visitors made several very costly errors
The Portlands did some good base running,
but Thayer kept the visitors on first and
they did not steal base. There was a very
good attendance, which shows that when
good clubs come people viii go to see them.
Both clubs commenced their scoring in the
second inning DAWN was hit by pitched
ball, stole second, went to third on wild
pitch and came home on Schoeneck's hit
The Lynns run was earned, Henry hitting
for two bases, going Ia third on put out
and scoring on Fagan's hit. The POrtlands
made four hits in the third and scored four
runs, three Of them being earned. Another
was added in the fifth on base on balls,
hit and passed ball, and three more in the
seventh on four hits and two wild throws.
A muffed fly, a wild throw and hit added
two mere In the ninth. The Lynns scored
two In the seventh on two two-baggers and
wild throw. In the eighth they had the
bases fun but failed to get the hits necessary
10 clear them.
Spill made splendid stop Of a ball of
Dayin's bat that was good for two bases,
and Henry made q fine catch Of Duffy's fly.
DickersOn and DAWN also made good catches

The London Policeman and His
Ignorance.

The London public is strangely dull and
unimaginatiye. The people Of one quarter
are often as ignorant cf a neighbOrhood
within stones threw Of them as If it were
in Central Africa. You find constantly the
proof of this in inquiring your way about
town. The policemen never know where
particular streets or buildings outside of
their beats are located. An Englishman
who has lived in London for quarter of a
century, tells me that no one but an Ameri
can would think Of asking London police
man for anything in the way Of information.
London policemen are often placed ON guard
in front of English officials houses where
they are absolutely ignorant of the name of
the occupant. 1t Is genuine and not af-
fected Ignorance. l have asked higher po-
lice officials about this and they say that the
men very often do not know and do not care
| saw some twenty policemen guarding one
day the house of the Prime Minister.
asked several of the men on guard IL they
knew whose house they were guarding.
They all replied in the most courteous mega
tive. Finally, one of them referred me to an
old constable who had been on the beat IN
that neighborhood for some years, and he
was able to give me the Information. I'M

any prominent officials house in New York

the London policeman you VIII have to make
a comparison. Suppose the average tourist
in New York should ask a Madison square
policeman where the Gtlsey House was or
where the Fifth Avenue Hotel was, and ne

whistle of the incoming passenger train
sounded. Instantly he reversed his locomo-

leaped to the ground. He was badly shaken
up, but he ran ahead and tagged the train so
that it was stopped, but not until it was
within twenty feet of the lumber wreck. 1t

The clauses were passed in committees of

will ratify the constitution by popular
